What to pack for Explorer voyages to Antarctica and beyond

There are several things to remember to bring along with you when you are coming on an expedition with us.

To make packing a bit easier, we have drawn up a packing list, covering both polar waters and expeditions in warmer waters

such as the crossings of the Atlantic Ocean, South America and in Europe. If you should forget something, don’t worry! On board all our ships you will find a shop with a wide range of clothes and practical items.

On board it’s smart to wear ordinary shoes

Bring a memory card with a large capacity – there are sockets in the cabins to recharge photo equipment

The dress code aboard the ship is relaxed and casual and you are not expected to dress formally for meals

Bring extra batteries for your camera, as battery life is shorter in cold areas

Shoes with good soles are recommended for outdoors, on deck, and for excursions ashore. Make sure they are worn-in walking boots.

Expeditions to warm areas – generally, the Amazon and the areas around the equator are hot and muggy, but during the evenings, it can cool down quite a bit, especially if it rains. Fast-drying clothes that can be layered work best.

Inexpensive rain poncho

Sandals or shoes you don’t mind getting wet

Wide-brimmed sun hat

Light jacket (water resistant) that will keep you warm on a cool evening or dry during a sudden downpour

Swimwear, both for use on beaches and on the whirlpools on deck

Short and long-sleeved T-shirts with UV filter

Sunglasses with UV filter lenses

Shorts for warm days

Trousers for cooler days

Insect repellent with Deet

Anti-itch cream for insect bites
